Canyons of the Küre Mountains

A route following the canyons of the Küre Mountains: the glass viewing terrace that reveals the depth of Çatak Canyon, Horma Canyon explored on a wooden walkway fixed to the rock wall, Ilıca Waterfall pouring into a natural pool at the end of the canyon, and the deep Valla Canyon carved by the Devrekani Stream.

Duration and distance are estimates. Distance is the straight-line sum between stops; the actual road is longer. Check with a maps app before you set off.

Safety and caution

Do not descend into the canyons without a guide; do not go beyond the railings on the Valla viewing terraces. Horma's wooden platforms become slippery when wet and the trail may be closed in winter; do not jump into the Ilıca pool.
